Watch that step!
"Instant Vintage"
LOL!
And I knew all this years ago about the Xenon........ 😀
Those three were taken with my ultra rare KM Kreigsmarine Leitz Xenon f1.5/50 (uncoated) which could have been made even better maybe with some Toothpaste? But I wasn't going to try, that KM camera and lens sold for a small fortune, I regret selling it sometimes.
If I had it now I could buy a "new" M9P a Non-Asph Lux 50 a Cron 35 v4 and a SS M3 and STILL had a chunk of change left over......
Anyway great lens, impossible to find without scratches, like the "wartime" CZJ Sonnar f2/50 the front lenses were super sensitive and ALL of them got nasty cleaning marks after 65+ years of being used.
